92 pickup 3.0 timing problems

I got a 92 pickup with the 3.0 and I just built a new motor for it. But when I put the timing. Belt on one of the cam gears rolled out a tooth. Can I adjust that out at the distributer or do I need to redo the timing belt process?

Thanks I kinda figured that but I got a buddy that thinks he knows it all and he is the type that if his mouth is moving he is Probably lieing and he says he use to work at a Toyota dealership but he told me u could adjust it at the distributer but I wanted to be sure that I needed to redo the belt before I actually went any farther

You've got two cams,now one is out of time with the crank,one in time.How would the doing it at the distributor work?When we do timing belts on anything. We mark the old timing belt at three places,and each pulley.Remove the belt and transfer the marks to the new belt.Then install the new belt.Takes a extra minute, but you know your right when your done.Also you dont have to put the engine at TDC.

That would work if his "friend" hadn't done the last timing belt change at the dealer.....
